164. Cy Wentworth

Marvin “Cyclone” Wentworth was known for being a steady rock on the defensive corps, rarely missing games and even more rarely being penalized.  Wentworth began his career with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he was eventually named the team captain. However, he was traded to the Montreal Maroons, where he achieved greater success, helping them win the 1935 Stanley Cup.  He was named a Second Team All-Star that year.  In that Cup win, Wentworth, who was not much of a scorer, actually had the most Points in the playoffs with 5.  He would also have two Short-Handed Goals the following season, which was league-leading.

296. Geoff Sanderson

From the Northwest Territories, Geoff Sanderson played 1,104 Games in the National Hockey League while being named an All-Star twice.  The Left Winger would never play for any serious Stanley Cup contender but he recorded 700 Points as a professional.  Sanderson would represent Canada in two World Hockey Championship wins (1994 & 1997), and he was also a Memorial Cup winner in 1989 with the Swift Current Broncos.

277. Derek Morris

Derek Morris played a whopping 1,107 Games in the National Hockey League and was regarded by the pundits as a solid two-way blueliner.  While this was true, Morris had the misfortune of playing on mediocre teams for most of his career, namely in Calgary and Phoenix.  Over his career, he only made the playoffs four times, though he did have a decent tally of 424 career Points.  While he was never close to being a champion in the NHL, he would help Canada win the World Hockey Championship in 2004.

214. Geoff Courtnall

Geoff Courtnall had a nice career in hockey, scoring 799 Points with four seasons of 70+ points.  This was very impressive, considering that Geoff was undrafted and was known, not always affectionately, as Russ Courtnall’s older brother.
